===Health and fertility===
{{main|Healthcare in Utah}}
Utah ranks among the highest in total fertility rate, 47th in [[teenage pregnancy]], lowest in percentage of [[Illegitimacy|births out of wedlock]], lowest in number of abortions per capita, and lowest in percentage of teen pregnancies terminated in abortion. However, statistics relating to pregnancies and abortions may also be artificially low from teenagers going out of state for abortions because of [[parental notification]] requirements.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.agi-usa.org/pubs/journals/2911597.html | title = Teenage Abortion and Pregnancy Statistics by State, 1992 | publisher = AGI | place = [[United States]] | date = May 30, 1997 | access-date = July 31, 2010 | url-status=dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20060302092337/http://www.agi-usa.org/pubs/journals/2911597.html | archive-date = March 2, 2006 | df = mdy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.agi-usa.org/pubs/ib22.html |title=Contraception Counts: State-by-State Information |publisher=AGI |place=US |access-date=July 31, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080517160052/http://www.agi-usa.org/pubs/ib22.html |archive-date=May 17, 2008 }}</ref> Utah has the lowest [[child poverty]] rate in the country, despite its young demographics.<ref name="ldsdemss">{{cite web |url=http://www.adherents.com/largecom/lds_dem.html |title=Sampling of Latter-day Saint/Utah Demographics and Social Statistics from National Sources |publisher=Adherents.com |access-date=July 31, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100508230001/http://www.adherents.com/largecom/lds_dem.html |archive-date=May 8, 2010 |url-status=usurped }}</ref> According to the Gallup-Healthways Global Well-Being Index {{as of|2012|lc=y}}, Utahns ranked fourth in overall well-being in the United States.<ref>{{Cite news | title = Fourth year Hawai'i no wellbeing last | work= Gallup | url = http://www.gallup.com/poll/160730/fourth-year-hawaii-no-wellbeing-last.aspx | access-date = August 15, 2013 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130730155212/http://www.gallup.com/poll/160730/fourth-year-hawaii-no-wellbeing-last.aspx | archive-date = July 30, 2013 | url-status = live }}</ref> A 2002 national prescription drug study determined that antidepressant drugs were "prescribed in Utah more often than in any other state, at a rate nearly twice the national average".<ref>{{Cite news| url = https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-feb-20-mn-28924-story.html| title = Study Finds Utah Leads Nation in Antidepressant Use| newspaper = Los Angeles Times| date = February 20, 2002| access-date = July 12, 2013| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20131021201158/http://articles.latimes.com/2002/feb/20/news/mn-28924| archive-date = October 21, 2013| url-status = live}}</ref> The data shows that depression rates in Utah are no higher than the national average.<ref>{{Cite journal |url= https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5938a2.htm |title= Current Depression Among Adults, United States, 2006 and 2008 |journal= [[Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report]] |volume= 59 |issue= 38 |pages= 1229–1235 |author1= O Gonzalez |author2= JT Berry |date= October 1, 2010 |pmid= 20881934 |display-authors= etal |access-date= September 17, 2017 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20170902150316/https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5938a2.htm |archive-date= September 2, 2017 |url-status= live }}</ref> In 2022, Utah had the lowest percent of births to unmarried women of any US state, at 20.3 percent.<ref>{{cite web | title = Percent of Babies Born to Unmarried Mothers by State | date = February 24, 2022 | publisher = U.S. Department of Health & Human Services | url = https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/unmarried/unmarried.htm | accessdate = September 21, 2024}}</ref>
